Hightech Information System Limited launches its HIS 6970 & 6950 Fan Turbo 2GB GDDR5 graphics card. Offering the latest and greatest features like AMD Eyefinity technology,
AMD HD3D technology and DirectX 11 support, the new 6900 Turbo Series provides flawless image quality and unbelievable performance to the gamers at every advantages. The HIS 6950 Turbo has over-clocked its core clock speed to 840MHz and memory clock at 5,120MHz, delivering serious high-definition gaming frame rates.

The HIS 6970 Turbo supplies the same 2GB GDDR5 but at a maximum core clock speed of 900MHz and memory clock of 5,600MHz. The utmost speed will let you enjoy the high resolution and fast frame rates which directly translate into superior performance and ultra-high bandwidth.

TURBO
Pre-overclocked graphics card with the balance of the best performance and cooling effect.

HD3D Stereoscopic Technology
HD3D technology transmits two separate images to each of your eyes at the same time at a resolution beyond 1080p. Supported with HD3D glasses,
this technological innovation comes with Stereo 3D gaming, Blu-ray 3D, 3rd Party Stereo 3D middleware software and 6900 Series GPU support.

I really wish more cards came with overclocks that are more than tens of MHz faster, overclocks like these can be done by almost every card but a bump of say 100mhz on the core would probably have to use some very selectively binned chips meaning they really should be worth the extra money.

by: SvB4EvAAre those mem clock speeds correct???

EDIT: according to HIS website they are... wow?

The increase is not very much in terms of the base clock, the stock 6950 is 1250MHz base so 5000MHz effective and stock 6970 is 1375MHz base so 5500MHz effective.

As GDDR5 is the base clock x4 to get the effective speed its only a 30mhz bump on the 6950's base clock to 1280MHz and 25mhz on the 6970's base clock to 1300MHz.

When cards start using the 1750MHz base/7GHz effective GDDR5 chips that Hynix has created then it will be very impressive.
*hopes they will be used on the 7xxx and 6xx cards* :D

clocks seem abit sad ,more of a gimmick. a normal 6970 will do 950 on core and 1450 on memory with nothing more than ccc and you can get 1000 on the core with 1.225v with hardly any difference in temp with small change to fan speed.

Usually it's best to just buy a reference card and overclock it yourself. Spending extra $$$ on pre-overclocked cards is just throwing your money away. I guess they are an option for people who are totally clueless about computers or are paranoid about damaging their hardware.
